Summary

"Islam and Socialist Methods" by Muhammad al-Ghazali, in which the author compares the economic principles of Islam with the socialist approaches known in his age. The preface to the edition says that it is a sequel to an earlier book titled "Islam and Economic Conditions" 1 2.

The author's position

The book's critique of socialism is the author's own reading, and it is presented here in that way, not as a general judgement by the museum. The entry needs a wider reading of the book and independent sources before it can be given the frame that places this reading within Sunni jurisprudence and economic thought.
